Have you ever thought of renting textbooks?


It's been a few years since I have had to look into getting textbooks but one thing I will not forget is the price tag.  My first semester in college I had to have all new textbooks, no writing or highlighting in them.  I quickly learned that buying used was the way to go, saving me..I mean my parents lots of money.  Had there been something like Campus Book Rentals back then I would have certainly looked into it.


Perks of renting textbooks:
  • Save 40-90% off of bookstore prices 
  • Free shipping both ways 
  • You can highlight in the textbooks 
  • Flexible renting periods 
  • A donation to Operation Smile is made with each textbook rental
Whether you're a college student or just like to keep up on your field.  I did some searching around the site and checking up on the newest books in the field I studied in college.  Public Relations has come a long way in 10 years.  The book that caught my eye was The New Rules of Marketing & PR: How to Use Social Media, Online Video, Mobile Applications, Blogs, News Releases, and Viral Marketing to Reach Buyers.

If you are concerned about renting online Campus Book Rentals offers a 100% refund if you return the book within 30 days.  This helps to safe guard if you drop a class or order the wrong book!  By renting your textbooks online you can also help a great cause.  A donation is made to Operation Smile for every textbook rented.  Operation Smile is an international children's medical charity that heals children's smiles, forever changing their lives.

If you have purchased textbooks recently you may be able to recoup some of the cost.  Campus Book Rentals also has a buy back program.  You can enter the ISBN number and get an instant quote and quick payment.

Whether you are a current student or headed to college for the Spring semester I would encourage you to pick up a sweatshirt at the campus bookstore, not your textbooks.  Shop around for the best deal and don't get stuck with a stack full of textbooks you won't crack open again.  Be sure and include Campus Book Rentals in your search and start saving!
